Four Easy Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Fruits
1. Did you know that if you slice citrus lengthwise you get more juice? You can get 3 times as much juice from a lemon simply by slicing it lengthwise instead of crosswise! Who knew? A lemon sliced crosswise — the way most people would normally cut it — yields around 2 tablespoons of juice. The one that is sliced lengthwise yields up to 1/3 cup!
2. Wrapping bananas in a newspaper and then refrigerating them can keep them fresh for longer. Don’t you hate it when that banana you were saving goes bad? Next time, try this simple tip to save your bananas for a longer time.
3. To preserve lemons, coat them with coconut oil and refrigerate them in an open container. If you’re like most people, your lemons are shoved in the fridge in a flimsy plastic bag. But lemons, if stored at room temperature, can only last a week before they start hardening.
4. Make your lemons more squeezable: Microwave a lemon for a few seconds. It’ll make it softer and easier to squeeze.
